Application	Application 1: Grilles and louvres in a door or wall separating a patient's sleeping room from an ensuite toilet room, shower room or similar ancillary space, where: the adjacent rooms are not used to store flammable or combustible materials, and the openings are located so that smoke cannot pass through these rooms to other parts of the building. This applies to hospitals or nursing homes in care or detention occupancy in buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A. Application 2: This also applies to tents and air-supported structures, as stated in Sentences 3.1.6.1.(1) and 9.10.1.2.(1). Exceptions: except as stated in: Sentence 3.1.6.2.(1), which prohibits air-supported structures from being located above the first storey on any building, Sentence 3.1.6.2.(2), which prohibits air-supported structures from being used for classrooms or for Groups B, C, or Group F, Division 1 major occupancies, and Sentence 3.1.6.2.(3), which requires air-supported structures to be designed as open floor spaces without interior walls, mezzanines, intermediate floors or similar construction.
